Things to remember while preparing the ADCP.
• Use the Deployment Checklist to verify that the ADCP is ready for
the deployment.
• Test the ADCP using WinSC. Some tests will fail if the ADCP is not
placed in water while the tests are being run.
• Use the AC power supply while testing the ADCP. Save the batter-
ies for deployments.
• Desiccant lasts a year at specified WorkHorse deployment depths
and temperatures. Remember that desiccant rapidly absorbs mois-
ture from normal room air. Replace the desiccant whenever the
WorkHorse housing or end-cap is removed.
• Verify the compass calibration.
